Ep.90 「てるてる坊主」を知っていますか？🌧️

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. Now we’re moving on to the part of the show that we call ‘Explain yourself!’. This is where our guests talk about a topic and say what they think and why. Listeners, you can tell us who was the most convincing. So we’ve got Jake with us, Jake is from New York in the United States. Then we’ve got Andrew who’s from York in the UK.

Andrew: The original York before the Americans made a worse one.

Jake: No one knows where York is, or cares.

Host: Whoa! We’ve started already. Don’t worry, Jake, Andrew’s just trying to provoke you. This could be an interesting discussion! And today’s topic is Food and Drink. Which is better: American or British?

Jake: Well, this is going to be a short discussion. It’s American food and drink. It’s definitely the most well-known food around the world. What’s the next topic?

Andrew: Just because American food is the most well-known, which it is, it doesn’t mean it’s good. I think most of it is really unhealthy. Yes, he’s definitely an American male. Do all of you just sit watching games on TV that no other countries are interested in, drinking ice cold beer-flavored water and shouting (Mimics) ‘We’re the best at everything! USA!’

Jake: Oh you’re talking to me about beer? Good luck with tempting people to come to your barbecue on a hot day with a nice glass of warm beer. Not that you have barbecues because it’s always raining. You just sit inside with your warm beer and your fish and chips feeling sad.

Andrew: (laughs) I’m not going to apologize for enjoying beer that is slightly warmer than ice. There are things that are more important than how cold it is, you know? Like, oh I don't know - taste?

Host: Beer wars! Are we going to be able to resolve this difference at all, gentlemen?

Andrew: Obviously I’m a little more favorable toward British beer, but Jake has a point about the weather. It doesn’t actually rain all the time, but it’s not usually as hot as it gets in most places in the US.

The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal (pronounced /ˌtɑːdʒ mə'hɑːl/) is a famous mausoleum next to the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. A mausoleum is a building where people bury the dead. The name Taj Mahal means 'the crown of palaces'.

1. 
The most famous part of the Taj Mahal is the large white dome in the centre. It is 35 metres high and is surrounded by four smaller domes. The rooms inside the building are decorated with beautiful archways and precious stones in the walls. The buildings are surrounded by gardens with pathways, pools, fountains and green gardens.

2.
The construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632 and finished in 1653. It was built with materials from all over India and Asia, but the main material is white marble. Historians believe that the materials were transported by over 1,000 elephants for the construction.

3.
The emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a burial place for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. According to legend, he wanted to build another Taj Mahal in black on the other side of the river, but this never happened. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, many parts of the Taj Mahal were damaged by British soldiers, who took some of the precious stones from its walls. Over the years, the Taj Mahal has suffered from environmental damage, and there have been many government attempts to conserve its beauty.

4.
The Taj Mahal is one of India's most famous landmarks. There are millions of visitors to the mausoleum every year. The Taj Mahal is almost always included in lists of famous buildings to visit and is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

旅行  
lǚ xíng  

跟旅行团旅行不用操心交通、吃住这些事情，  
gēn lǚ xíng tuán lǚ xíng bú yòng cāo xīn jiāo tōng 、 chī zhù zhè xiē shì qing ，  

主要的景点导游都会带你去看，比较舒服。  
zhǔ yào de jǐng diǎn dǎo yóu dōu huì dài nǐ qù kàn ， bǐ jiào shū fu 。  

但是，参加旅行团旅行没有自由，行程都是安排好的，  
dàn shì ， cān jiā lǚ xíng tuán lǚ xíng méi yǒu zì yóu ， xíng chéng dōu shì ān pái hǎo de ，  

如果遇到不好的导游或者不好玩儿的地方，你也没有选择。  
rú guǒ yù dào bù hǎo de dǎo yóu huò zhě bù hǎo wánr de dì fang ， nǐ yě méi yǒu xuǎn zé 。  

如果有条件，旅行还是自己安排比较好。  
rú guǒ yǒu tiáo jiàn ， lǚ xíng hái shì zì jǐ ān pái bǐ jiào hǎo 。  

你可以自由地决定去看什么，去吃什么，住什么地方。  
nǐ kě yǐ zì yóu de jué dìng qù kàn shén me ， qù chī shén me ， zhù shén me dì fang 。  

你也有时间、有机会更好地了解当地的文化。  
nǐ yě yǒu shí jiān 、 yǒu jī huì gèng hǎo de liǎo jiě dāng dì de wén huà 。  

现在旅游网站很多，在网上订票、订房都很方便。  
xiàn zài lǚ yóu wǎng zhàn hěn duō ， zài wǎng shàng dìng piào 、 dìng fáng dōu hěn fāng biàn 。  

当然这样旅行会麻烦一些，  
dāng rán zhè yàng lǚ xíng huì má fan yì xiē ，  

但是，自己解决遇到的麻烦也是旅行的意义。  
dàn shì ， zì jǐ jiě jué yù dào de má fan yě shì lǚ xíng de yì yì 。

Journey 旅行

W tym odcinku opowiem wam o tym co możecie robić na Roztoczu. Dzisiaj nauczycie się takich wyrażeń jak: jeździć na rowerze, pływać kajakiem, spacerować po lesie, siedzieć przy ognisku i wiele innych. Oczywiście dzięki podcastom możecie również powtórzyć gramatykę  i wcale nie musi to być nudne :) 
Na przykład, pamiętacie, że powiedziałam:
jeździć po lesie, jeździć po ulicy
Który to jest przypadek?
Tak, to jest miejscownik. Zapamiętajcie jeździć/chodzić po ulicy, lesie, łące, śniegu + miejscownik.
A teraz spróbujcie zrobić quiz.
Jeśli chcielibyście transkrypcję i ćwiczenia proszę napiszcie do mnie. 
Dziękuję za uwagę i do usłyszenia :)
